E 96 St/2 Ave

Most Manhattan bus stops are just a pole and a schedule. E 96 St/2 Ave breaks the pattern—a full station where the M15, M98, and M101 lines converge above the Second Avenue Subway. That intersection pulls in commuters from Yorkville, Carnegie Hill, and points east; the stop itself sits at the edge of a neighborhood where pre-war co-ops meet newer high-rises and the East River hums a block away.

The address is New York, NY 10128, a single block that handles more daily boardings than some small towns. Passenger loading areas are clearly marked; restrooms are available for riders who need them. Questions about schedules or accessibility can be answered at 511 or by calling the MTA’s customer service line, though the station itself has no public phone.

Transfers between buses and the Q train happen underground, so the map is the best guide when timing connections. Directions to the stop are here: Google Maps listing. It’s the kind of place you walk past every day until the day you actually need it.
